Fjordian

Hailing from deep within the Endless Domain and other deep forested regions of the world, these heavily tribal and spiritual people embody the people of the trees. At odds with those who defile and corrupt nature, most of these people are in defense of the natural world, while some seek to corrupt and pervert the same land.
